David Sanborn - Parallel Lines

I see you and I know you see me
As we go by
Our eyes never meet
Seems to be an invisible screen
You keep your side of the street

Just another lost face in the crowd
Saying nothing, but I'm shouting out loud
From my heart wondering why it should be
The lonely lives that we lead

Are you so different to me
I know you can't possible be
Were two in a million
But you could be the one
That makes my perception complete

We go by like parallel lines
Living out our separate lies
If only we crossed the space in-between
How beautiful it could be
How beautiful it could be

We're oh-so busy trying to get everyday
Don’t even see the people crossing the edge
We're tryna find the light at the tunnel's end
Maybe we should just turn our heads Are you so different to me
I know you can't possible be
Were two in a million
But you could be the one
That makes my perception complete

We go by like parallel lines
Living out our separate lies
If only we crossed the space in-between
How beautiful it could be
How beautiful it could be

Just imagine if those lines would come together
For a moment in a world where there's no stranger
Make a little effort, together

Close up the distance between all these parallel lines
Close up the distance between all these parallel lines
Close up the distance between all these parallel lines

How beautiful it could be
Parallel lines
How beautiful it could be
Parallel lines
How beautiful it could be
Parallel lines
How beautiful it could be
Parallel lines

Parallel lines
Parallel lines
Parallel lines
